Nikolai Feshin, Stepan Erz’ia. Al’bom-katalog vystavki (Nikolai Feshin, Stepan Erzya: album-exhibition catalogue) 9785605075431
St. Petersburg: Muzei Akademii khudozhestv, 2024. Sewn pb. This catalogue of an exhibition at the the Academy of Fine Arts takes an original approach to understanding the originality and the similarity of two artists working roughly at the same time (the first half of the twentieth century) but in different media, Erzya carving from wood, Feshin painting with oils. By publishing many works often from obscure collections the curators allow the readers to identify parallels in the art of Feshin and Erzya such as the uncanny ability of both to express joy or grief, exuberance or lethargy, agitation or calm by a slight tweak of the lips or glint in the eyes. 151 p., 29 cm,, approx. 150 color illus., Rus. Item #4687
